    Cannot install update (KB2538243) - Error 0x80070643


    I have restarted my pc, but it made no difference, the update is still there and still fails to install, giving the same error code.
    I'm concerned that until this one installs I won't get any more updates, is that how it works?

    I have some solutions for
    1. "Select Services, right click on Windows Installer in the list and select Properties. If you’re having the problem, the Windows Installer service is started, and the Stop button is disabled. Simply rebooting doesn’t stop the service. Here’s how you stop it. In the Properties dialog, change Startup type to “Disabled”, click OK, and reboot your computer. This stops the service. After your computer reboots, again open Computer Management (right-click on Computer and select Manage), open Windows Installer Properties, and change the Startup type back to Manual. Now you’re good to go and can start a new installation."

    2.(very easy) Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Delete or right click on taskbar and click Start Task Manager). Go to process named msiexec.exe and click End Task. Now, start the installation and check.

    3.Look in the STARTUP Tab of Taskmanager for any kind of installer that is set to load at Startup...
    If you find one, disable it.

    Do the same thing in System Configuration (MSCONFIG) Services Tab....
    Check the box to hide all Microsoft services and check out what is left...( It's probably a 3rd Party, but maybe not)...

    Uncheck the box for anything suspicious... You may be surprised by some of the unnecessary stuff you find...

    OK, an update. I found the process "msiexec" it was called installer. I clicked end task and ran the update again. It worked!
    A big thank you to everyone who posted to try and help and especially Hexagon12 for their solution that solved my problem *Biggrin

    "Please refer to help and support for more information. HRESULT 0x80070002."
